My beloved Yiayia was a survivor of the turkish genocide of Asia MinorGreeks.I am appalled and ashamed that there is even any discussion inplanning to remove references to the word "genocide" from any parliamentary law.

I am proud of my Greek heritage and urge you not to bow to pressure from Turkey to deny the historical reality of this genocide. Allow me and my fellow Greek Americans to remain proud of our heritage and do not try to erase the suffering of my grandparents and others like them.
